I’d like to use Shadowhunters, your characters, Idris and other things from your books in my book. Can I?

Things like characters are copyrighted to the works they appear in — in other words, I own, say, Jace Wayland. You are welcome to play around in my fictional world by writing fanfiction or creating other fan works, but you can’t use them in work you intend to publish. It’s just not a good idea, not for anyone. Publishers want to see you can come up with your own ideas and characters so you are much better off doing that!
